After all, choosing a partner for life was a serious matter; MEI believed that no amount of strictness would be excessive.
But it had to be said, aside from his philandering nature, she really couldn't find anything about Leo that she found disagreeable.
Moreover, Leo's philandering could be considered to have a reasonable justification. Even if she was reluctant, right now she could only hold her nose and accept it.
Only, because of this, she would be even stricter with Leo—
"But do you really still need to go to school?"
"Why wouldn't I need to?"
Looking at MEI with keen interest, Leo smiled: "You haven't left the campus environment yet, so you completely don't understand the joy of returning to school."
"Of course, the prerequisite is not having to care much about exams!"
If it were returning to the campus environment of the Celestial Empire, he wouldn't be willing even if you beat him to death.
After all, even several years after graduating from university, he would still have nightmares about exams being imminent, or even being right in the exam hall.
That disgusting feeling, like maggots attached to bone, made him unable to forget it for a long time; it could be said he was given PTSD by exam-oriented education.
But this was the Far East. Ordinary schools let out at three in the afternoon. Even with club activities, it wouldn't be later than five.
Of course, because of this, students who wanted to continue their education needed to pay for cram schools out of their own pockets.
But for Leo, he was here to enjoy the wonderful school days, so naturally he wouldn't work hard.
Moreover, perhaps because his [Energy] had already exceeded the human limit, he found that the knowledge he had clearly forgotten in the past had now returned.
So if he were really asked to take an exam, he wouldn't be afraid at all, and certainly wouldn't have 'lost his cultivation' just because he had graduated high school.
"Your statement is truly heavy..."
Hearing the resentment Leo held toward his past school life, MEI felt relieved.
However—
"But if it's really as you say, we might soon lose our school life, right?"
"Even if you resolve the Honkai Domain here, the Fire Moth will come to pick us up, right?"
Only now did she know what the mysterious organization Mobius belonged to was called.
Of course, at the same time, she also confirmed Leo's conjecture—
The First Eruption occurred in the Mariana Trench, and the Second Eruption occurred in the Siberian Plains.
Only this Eruption occurred within a city.
If this disaster were really allowed to descend, who knows how many people would die.
"That's not a big problem."
Shaking his head at MEI, Leo smiled: "If I really have the ability to resolve the Honkai Domain, then the Fire Moth should be listening to me."
"To ordinary people, I can treat myself as an ordinary person."
"But if facing those higher-ups, I don't mind not eating beef... Oh, you guys wouldn't understand, but in short, I am not some pedantic person!"
The constraints imposed by the Fire Moth's higher-ups were also one of the major reasons why MEI and the others couldn't carry out much of their work.
Therefore, once he obtained power, he wouldn't mind getting rid of these old geezers first.
"Wouldn't that trigger infighting among humans first?"
Hearing this, MEI couldn't help but frown.
"Humanity has already arrived at the brink of destruction; at a time like this, it's not up to them."
Seeing MEI being so naive, Leo spoke bluntly: "If they are willing to be decent, that's best. If they aren't willing to be decent, then I will help them be decent."
"..."
Silently looking at Leo, MEI revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Anyway, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it."
As a transmigrator from the Celestial Empire, Leo wouldn't engage in false politeness.
His super power was meant to be used; otherwise, what was he fighting for in the dungeon every night?
"Mn."
Seeing Leo so confident, MEI could only nod in acknowledgement.
However—
"But the prerequisite for all this is that you must obtain power, right?"
"So let's quickly clean this up, and then I'll help you refine Imaginary Energy."
After speaking, she stood up and began clearing the bowls and chopsticks in front of her.
With her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked exceptionally capable at this moment.
"Mn."
Nodding, Leo also sprang into action.
At the same time, Raiden Mei was also helping from the side.
As a spirit body, she indeed couldn't fight, but she could still carry some small objects.
Furthermore, it wasn't that she tasted whatever Leo ate, but rather that she could enjoy the delicious food through Leo's sense of taste.
As for the food that entered her stomach, it was naturally converted into energy.
It's just that compared to the Honkai energy from Leo's side, this energy was merely a drop in the bucket and couldn't play much of a role... Even though it's all protein, right?
Letting her imagination run wild, her pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly.
Meanwhile, with many hands making light work, the bowls and chopsticks had already been washed by Leo and the others and placed into the disinfection cabinet.
The three returned to the living room to proceed with an extremely important ritual.
"Is this really okay?"
On the soft sofa, Leo gazed at the 'mountain peaks' above, his expression becoming somewhat subtle. He hadn't expected he would receive such treatment.
At this moment, he could be said to have helplessness when looking up, and each other when looking down.
The warm and thick thighs pillowed behind his head made him feel an unprecedented relaxation.
"You think I want to do this?"
Looking down at Leo, MEI's expression wasn't exactly bright.
"Anyway, don't talk too much, let me finish this ritual quickly!"
Feeling the weight of the head on her legs, as well as the friction of Leo's hair, she was also incredibly shy and ticklish.
But helpless as she was, this was the only way she could refine Imaginary Energy for Leo.
Thus, beating Leo to the punch before he could speak, she placed her hands on Leo's head, concentrated her mind, and began refining Imaginary Energy for Leo according to the knowledge that had suddenly appeared in her brain.
[Congratulations player on obtaining: 1 point of Honkai energy]
[Note: Current exchange rate is 1000 points of Imaginary Energy = 1 point of Honkai energy]
Looking at the system notification popping up before his eyes, Leo couldn't help but look at Raiden Mei with some shock.
—Good heavens! Is your personal mission actually this valuable?
Although based on the areas he had currently explored, he could earn about 1200 Imaginary Energy a day. Even if he didn't continue exploring, 5 points of Honkai energy would only take four or five days.
But the time he had left was also limited; obtaining 5 points of Honkai energy directly was truly quite a lot!
Also... Wait, why do I have a thousand points of Imaginary Energy?
Suddenly, he remembered that when he [Logged Out] last night, his Imaginary Energy should have been just nearly a thousand.
Involuntarily, he flipped through Tongzi's notification records, and then he saw—
[Blade Soul · Herrscher of Thunder Experience +124]
[Imaginary Energy +1.3]
[Blade Soul · Herrscher of Thunder Experience +117]
[Imaginary Energy +1.2]
[Blade Soul · Herrscher of Thunder Experience +102]
[Imaginary Energy +1.1]
[...]
Huh?
So dual cultivation is possible?
It seems that in the future... this process absolutely cannot be skipped!
